Li Tai came this time mainly to see how seriously ill the crown prince was, so as to make sure if he had a chance to compete for the reserve position.After coming here, he felt that he was a little too impatient.

After all, he was only 20 years old, and because of Li Shimin's favor, he had never participated in official struggles. Even Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and other veterans were called to reprimand him because of their bad attitude towards him.Fang Xuanling was frightened to death at that time, only Wei Zheng uprightly remonstrated, saying that Li Shimin shouldn't love Li Tai so much.

Li Shimin listened to Wei Zheng's words, and then restrained himself a bit.Even so, among the princes, Li Tai also has a special favor, which is unmatched by others.

Li Taicheng's mansion is not too deep, many things are mostly thought of by him quietly in the dead of night, and some of them are the ideas of the literati gathered in the palace.

Fortunately, the relationship between him and Li Chengqian was not that bad at this time. Li Tai turned into a good brother who was worried about his elder brother, "How is the elder brother? What does the imperial doctor say?"

Li Yuanji continued to wipe his sweat, Xu Zhe stretched out a hand, and said weakly: "Ching Que, come here."

Li Tai walked over, Xu Zhe grabbed his hand and shivered.

His hands were cold and unreal.

Li Tai touched his forehead, "Brother still has a fever?"

Li Yuanji said, "Yes, intermittently."

It looked like he was really sick.

Secret joy rose in Li Tai's heart again, his heart beat faster, his hands became cold, the room was very stuffy, and the luxurious brocade robe on his body was mostly wet, Li Tai couldn't feel it at all, and his thoughts were all at ease. It fell on Xu Zhe.

"What did the imperial doctor say? Where is the father? Has the father been here?"

Li Yuanji shook his head incredulously, and then said with a smile, "The imperial doctor said, it's just a common cold. It's just that His Highness couldn't rest well, and he was frightened, so he needs to rest for a few more days."

He caught the wind and cold in Zhaoling, and was frightened because of his father's reprimand and what happened at the court meeting.

Li Tai knew that the last time he attended the court, the prince had said that he did not want to sit in this position again.He has been waiting for the prince to make a mistake, and finally waited until today.The emperor must be dissatisfied with him. After this illness, he should soften his heart again.

Li Chengqian's health has not been very good, he has known this since he was a child.Xin Xin was hesitant to speak just now, and it seems that he has something to hide from Li Chengqian.Li Chengqian was out of energy and couldn't see it. Could it be that he still couldn't understand?

Definitely a big problem.

Li Yuanji said again, "Your Majesty came here last night. At that time, His Highness was in a deep sleep. I don't know yet."

Xu Zhe said softly, "Gu vaguely knew it, but he couldn't open his eyes and thought he was dreaming."

"Your Highness is much more energetic today than yesterday. It can be seen that the medicine you drank is still very effective. Take a few more doses and you will feel better soon."

"Ah."

Li Tai sat in front of him for a while, but couldn't stand the heat in the room, so he finally said goodbye and left.

After he left, both Xu Zhi and Li Yuanji couldn't help laughing.

Xu Zhe took out something from the quilt, it was an ice cube wrapped in a veil, the ice melted a lot, and the veil outside was wet.Xu Zhe kept holding it, that's why his hands were so cold.

He sat up, handed the ice to Li Yuanji, and drank the water Li Yuanji had poured.

Li Yuanji said: "Should he believe it now?"

Before Xu Zhe could answer, he said again: "I definitely believe it. He must have never imagined that no matter how good the reputation is, no matter how much preparation he makes, without the eldest brother as the prince, he will not be able to turn to him."

Li Yuanji felt happy just thinking about it, and couldn't help laughing while drinking water, and finally choked, coughing while holding the cup.

Xu Zhe said helplessly: "Be careful, why are you so happy?"

Li Yuanji coughed and tears were about to come out. He gave Xu Zhe two glances, but his throat was still uncomfortable. He took time out of his busy schedule and said quickly, "Brother isn't happy too?"

"Gu is not like you." Just as Xu Zhe was about to get off the bed, another person came, and he quickly went back to lie down. Seeing that Li Yuanji was still coughing, he waved to him, telling him to leave first.

Li Yuanji left quickly.

Xu Zhe was still holding a drinking cup in his hand and had no place to put it, so he simply threw it on the ground and broke it.

The people outside hurried in, "Your Highness!"

Xu Zhe took a look and found that the person was a little strange. After looking through his memory, he realized that this was Qin Ying.Wei Lingfu and Zhu Lingling didn't come, the three of them were always headed by Qin Ying, he should have come here first to find out the truth.

Seeing that his body was hanging on the head of the bed, Qin Ying hurried over to help him up, Xu Zhe took advantage of the situation and let go of his strength, with a big movement, the sweat came down again.

Qin Ying said: "Your Highness's hands are so cold."

The residual temperature of the ice cube has not dissipated.

Xu Zhe was afraid that he would see something wrong, so he slowly stuffed his hands into the bed, and still spoke in a very soft voice: "What's the matter?"

Qin Ying was a frequent visitor to the East Palace before, and because Li Chengqian gave him the right to manage the East Palace, his words still carry a lot of weight here.

He first asked the maid to clean up the broken porcelain on the ground, then went to the window and opened a crack, then came back and knelt in front of Xu Zhe's bed, weeping bitterly: "How could your highness be so ill? Poor Dao heard you outside Coughing... Your Highness hasn't summoned me these few days, but I dare not miss you. Please let me serve you by your side!"

There was no fluctuation in Xu Zhe's heart, and he was even thinking, do I need to swing my knife from the palace first to serve me?

"Daoist, please get up." Xu Zhe said perfunctorily without even moving his hands.

Qin Ying got up slowly and wiped away her tears with her wide sleeves, "It's the impoverished man who lost his temper. What you said just now came from the bottom of your heart. Please allow me your Highness."

"Could it be that the Taoist priest has a panacea that can cure Gu's illness?"

Qin Ying then took out a delicate small bottle from her sleeve, removed the stopper, and held it in front of Xu Zhi's eyes with both hands.

There may be menthol in it, the cool breath floats out, and the mind is much clearer.

"Your Highness, please take a look."

Xu Zhe lowered his eyes, looking sad, "The priest can heal such a serious illness, but it's a pity that he can't heal the lonely leg."

Qin Ying didn't dare to speak anymore.

There are many refreshing things, and some pills can really improve the spirit after taking them.But the leg... If it can't be cured, it can't be cured. Even if he studies the pill, there is no way to turn a cripple into a normal person.

Xu Zhe coughed twice, "I'm lonely, I leave my things behind, please go back, Taoist priest."

Qin Ying knew that he had a bad temper, so she didn't dare to say more.He obeyed his words, put the stopper on, put the bottle on Xu Zhe's bedside, and went out silently.

Li Yuanji stopped coughing and came out from behind, "What is he here for?"

Xu Zhe put the bottle away, "Li Shimin will come over in a while and ask him to take it to the Imperial Hospital for examination to see what's inside."

Xu Zhe also couldn't quite understand why Qin Ying instigated Li Chengqian to rebel.But he knew that if Li Chengqian's boat broke down, he would most likely jump on another boat.One day if the guarantee is not complete, the old master will be murdered.

After lying down for a while, Xu Zhe remembered another thing.

Li Shimin died when he was in his fifties, not from illness or old age, but from the elixir made by Taoist priests.

Is he really reliable?

However, only he knew about this matter, and he couldn't tell outsiders.

Even if Xu Zhe could tell that Li Shimin's body was the Li Shimin he knew, he couldn't tell. "Li Jiancheng" shouldn't know this.

A lot of people came to visit the doctor today.

Before Li Tai, Wei Zheng and Kong Yingda had been here.

Kong Yingda seldom had a pleasant face, instead of scolding him, he told him to take good care of his illness.

After Qin Ying left, Li Yuanji moved the charcoal basin away, and finally the house felt better.

After a while Li Shimin came again.Also came with him was Grand Uncle Sun Wuji.

Changsun Wuji and Li Jiancheng are enemies.

At the beginning, there were many counselors in the Qin Palace, and Fang Xuanling proposed to Li Shimin to kill Li Jiancheng as soon as possible.Li Jiancheng told Li Yuan that there were many villains around Li Shimin, and Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others were temporarily taken away, leaving only Changsun Wuji around Li Shimin.

Changsun Wuji believed that what Fang Xuanling said was right, and soon organized the Xuanwu Gate Change.

Now that Xu Zhe saw him as Li Jiancheng and Li Chengqian, he didn't care, but it was a skill to play Li Jiancheng as Li Chengqian well.

Xu Zhe glanced at Li Shimin, then covered his mouth and coughed like Li Yuanji, coughing endlessly, unable to speak.

Li Shimin knew that he was pretending, so he had to go forward, patted him on the back with a worried look, and said to Li Yuanji, "Pour a glass of water soon!"

Li Yuanji turned around, curled his lips, poured the water, and saw the elder brother glared at him as if he could understand his thoughts, quickly lowered his eyebrows, and stood obediently beside him.

Xu Zhe coughed for a while after drinking the water, and missed the opportunity to call Changsun Wuji uncle, and also saved calling Li Shimin's father in front of Changsun Wuji.

He tilted his head weakly and closed his eyes.

This is the script before pretending to be sick, and he is currently arguing with Li Shimin.

Li Shimin said helplessly: "Gao Ming..."

Changsun Wuji said: "Why is His Royal Highness doing this?"

Xu Zhe didn't speak.

Changsun Wuji continued: "Your Majesty cares about you. I'm afraid no one but you knows it. Whether your Majesty's actions are right or wrong is not for me to judge. This love for my son cannot be faked."

Li Shimin felt that if it was not him sitting here but the original Li Shimin, he would definitely agree with him and make his brother-in-law his confidant.

Xu Zhe said in a hoarse voice: "Gu was born to be a prince, no one would care about it, Gu would like to be this prince."

The eldest grandson Wuji sighed: "Yes, maybe this is fate. A farmer is born a farmer, and he spends his life farming for a living. The child conceived by a prostitute in a brothel is also born a prostitute, so what can we do? There's always someone to do something."

Xu Zhe didn't expect Zhangsun Wuji to be so eloquent, and he didn't know how to refute for a while.

Changsun Wuji continued his efforts, "There is always someone who will be the prince and rule the world in the future. Why can't this person be you?"

"Several brothers... which one doesn't want to be a prince?"

Li Shimin was watching his brother deal with his brother-in-law with great interest, when he suddenly found that the atmosphere was stagnant.The elder brother was looking at him, and the eldest grandson Wuji also looked frightened.

He belatedly remembered that Li Shimin here had a deep taboo against Xuanwumen, and if he heard such words, he would definitely lose his temper and turn his face.

Could it be that elder brother found out that he was watching the fun and dug a hole for him?

No way, he thinks that he hides it very well, the air of an emperor is not angry, and his anger is not shown, so how can he be easily seen through?

After thinking about it, Li Shimin's face still darkened, "What are you talking about!"
